1 Samuel 14:25-27
New English Translation

25 Now the whole army[a] entered the forest, and there was honey on the ground.[b] 26 When the army entered the forest, they saw[c] the honey flowing, but no one ate any of it,[d] for the army was afraid of the oath. 27 But Jonathan had not heard about the oath his father had made the army take. He extended the end of his staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb. When he ate it,[e] his eyes gleamed.[f]
